Conservatism be damned; I\u2019m calling my shots: The 2023 NFL Draft<\/a> will be the fourth time in history that Quarterbacks are drafted 1-2-3<\/a>. Offensive linemen will be drafted high, while the RB and ILB positions will be largely ignored in Round 1, and there will be two or more Day 1 trades.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Carolina Panthers (from Chicago) – OSU QB C.J. Stroud – Stroud is a physical specimen that can make every throw and is the ideal pivot to lead Carolina in the now vulnerable NFC South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Houston Texans – ALB QB Bryce Young – Houston will field calls for this pick and ignore them. Young\u2019s size may concern some but it\u2019s his mobility that makes him QB1 for the Texans next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Indianapolis Colts – TRADE! (from Arizona) – FLA QB Anthony Richardson – Our first trade has the Colts outbidding the Titans to move up one spot and lock down their QB of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Arizona Cardinals – TRADE! (from Indianapolis) – TXT EDGE Tyree Wilson \u2013 The Cardinals move back one place and still manage to select the most dangerous Edge man in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) – ALB EDGE Will Anderson Jr. \u2013 Seattle sits tight, smiling the whole time, and ends up with arguably the most complete defensive player in the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Detroit Lions (from Los Angeles Rams) – GEO DL Jalen Carter \u2013 The troubled but uber-talented Georgia DE heads to the Motor City to add punch to the Lions’ one-dimensional front seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Las Vegas Raiders – GEO OT Broderick Jones \u2013 The Raiders make a smart investment in a guy who will protect Jimmy G’s blind side, but Raiders fans boo because they wanted a wideout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Atlanta Falcons – ORE CB Christian Gonzalez \u2013 Based on all I saw of the combine, there\u2019s no question in my mind Gonzalez is CB1; it\u2019s just a matter of when he goes. ATL is a good landing spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Chicago Bears (from Carolina) – ILL CB Devon Witherspoon \u2013 The Bears add a man who’s happy to live life on an island as a lockdown corner in the pass-happy NFC North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Philadelphia Eagles (from New Orleans) –  ALB DB Brian Branch \u2013 The Eagles select the draft\u2019s top Safety, a rare Swiss Army Knife with range, tackling ability, and the speed to slide into slot coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Pittsburgh Steelers TRADE! (from Tennessee) – NWU OL Peter Skoronski \u2013 The Steelers trade up to select the top remaining OT on the board. Skoronski goes on to have a Pro Bowl career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Houston Texans (from Cleveland) – TCU WR Quentin Johnston \u2013 Having plugged a couple of O-line holes in free agency, the Texans select the WR from TCU to pair with rookie Bryce Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. New York Jets – OSU WR Jaxon Smith-Ngijba – The Aaron Rodgers deal gets done just before the draft. The diva is welcomed to town with a nifty new toy — the best natural Slot receiver in the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. New England Patriots \u2013 ND C John Michael Schmitz – Here\u2019s a pick Patriots fans will hate initially but eventually grow to love. Centers are unsexy Round 1 picks; until they anchor your line for a decade.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Green Bay Packers – ND TE Michael Mayer \u2013 I\u2019m torn between Mayer and WR Zay Flowers here. Ultimately, I think the Packers will value Mayer\u2019s combo of blocking and receiving ability a bit higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Washington Commanders – PIT DL Calijah Kancey \u2013 Somehow, the Redskins manage to snag one of the draft\u2019s most intriguing D-linemen. He\u2019ll add instant pop and a speed rush from the B gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Tennessee Titans TRADE! (from Pittsburgh)  – KTY QB Will Levis \u2013 After trading down, the Titans are still in a good position to grab Levis, who will sit and learn for a year behind a veteran free-agent QB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Detroit Lions – PSU CB Joey Porter Jr. – The Lions are thrilled to get the NFL-ready Porter Jr. to pair with newly acquired CB Cam Sutton. The two give the Lions a legit secondary in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – TEN RB Bijan Robinson \u2013 The Buccaneers cash in on their ugly \u201822 season to select the most complete running back in the draft. He makes the position popular again in \u201823.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Seattle Seahawks – CLE DT Bryan Bresee – With their new Edge rusher already in hand, the Seahawks select big, athletic Bryan Bresee from Clemson to add a little nastiness in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Los Angeles Chargers – TEN WR Jalin Hyatt \u2013 The Chargers look to reload their depleting receiving corps by drafting the speedy and reliable Vols product (but it doesn\u2019t work out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. Baltimore Ravens – FLA OL O\u2019Cyrus Torrence \u2013 The Ravens do the smart thing and select the future Pro Bowl interior offensive lineman from Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. Minnesota Vikings – ALB RB Jahmyr Gibbs \u2013 With questions at RB hanging in the air, the Vikings reach a little for Alabama product Jahmyr Gibbs. He becomes the lead back by the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. Jacksonville Jaguars – OSU OL Paris Johnson Jr. \u2013 The Jaguars fell short of their goals in \u201822. Johnson Jr. immediately upgrades an O that\u2019s already on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. New York Giants – NDSU OL Cody Mauch \u2013 The Giants go trench with Jones and Saquon handled for 2023. Mauch starts right away, adding much-needed toughness to the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. Dallas Cowboys –  USC WR Jordan Addison \u2013 I actually hate this pick, I just think it\u2019s what the Cowboys will do. Why? Dallas is desperate for weapons to get back into NFC East contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27.  Buffalo Bills – IOW LB Luke Van Ness – What a great match this would be. Van Ness could step right into the big shoes left in the Bills’ defensive front 7 by the departure of Tremaine Edmunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28. Cincinnati Bengals – BYU OL Blake Freeland \u2013 The Bengals forego CB in this round to add greater size and athleticism to the O-line and more protection for Pro Bowl QB Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29. New Orleans Saints (from San Francisco 49ers) – UTAH TE Dalton Kincaid – The Saints have nothing near a legit TE1 on their roster. Dalton Kincaid\u2019s complete game immediately earns him the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30. Philadelphia Eagles – MAR CB Deonte Banks \u2013 One of the 2022 draft\u2019s most surprising players, Banks rocketed to national attention with an exceptional combine. That has piqued the Eagles’ interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31. Kansas City Chiefs – CLE EDGE Myles Murphy \u2013 Every year, there are players that drop to what seems like an unreasonably low draft position. Murphy comes in with a chip on his shoulder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
